#26: CAO Brazilia and Rocky Patel Edge

I’ve been buying the CAO Brazilia and Rocky Patel Edge for years and they just fit me perfectly.

A favorite combo of mine. Both are delicious full bodied smokes. Get these!

Love the flavor of both blends, but more than a few of the RP edges have burned unsatisfactory.

Quality

Both great Cigars!!

I’m very happy with the product I received i rate you guys a 5

Very good

Best out there for the price.. Great full body and easy to smoke.. Your new fav..

Nice combo pack.

A great Sampler, really enjoyed both cigars!

CAO is awesome as always

Quick shipping. Have only tried 1 CAO. It did not burn well. Nothing to write home about.

Never a bad choice.

Good smokes

Excellent!

Two of my favorite smokes out there!

Rocky edge is my go to cigar

Two great smokes

Great cigars!! Definitely would purchase again!

Good value for two mild cigars.

The CAO Brazilia cigars were great. They have a very strong, earth taste to them and burned well as long as you light them well. The Rocky Patel Edge cigars taste very good and they are strong. The only issue I had was that I couldn't keep them lite and they didn't burn well. I have gotten these many times before with the same results.

Loved the CAO and the Patel's were tolerable.

Go to for full flavor value smoke. Good construction and draw to the end.

Rocky excellent Great combo Cao great smoke

These are always great and never disappoint.

Love these

Great smoke

Patel Edge, excellent. CAO Brazilia not so much.

Absolutely love the CAO Brasilia cigars! And the RP Edge is also very good, but my first choice is the CAO.

Both are regulars in my humidor. Great way to buy them in the 5 pack samplers. I always pick up a 5×5'er along with my bundle of daily Factory Smokes.

Seriously CAO- why can’t you make this cigar hold together? Love the flavor but more often than not, the Brazilia blows up. I’m done. Get a wrapper worth something.

Smoke like cigars worth three times as much!

These are both great cigars, and my "go to" brands. I have re-ordered these many times. Great flavor, long lasting, well constructed cigars.

Great combination package. I do not claim to be a "coniseuer" by any means but I know what I like in a cigar. Usually I prefer a "medium" strenght and partial to tobaccos from Nicaragua, but do not mind a heavy(strong) cigar. Historically the CAO brand is consistently a good cigar in my opinion. The CAO Columbia is a favorite and Brazilia is slightly milder. Both are consistently good smokes. In this package both CAO(Brazilia)and Patel were on equal footing and both were overall good on the pallet and great on the burn. Would do this deal again.

Good draw, well constructed, nice blend

Nice mellow smoke

Great choice in bundle, wonderful quality,

Nice cigar if you prefer a medium to full body smoke

Great cigars

Both are well made and have great flavor

Great smokes, great price. Arrived quickly and in fine condition. All that I’ve come to expect from CI.

very good!

Excellent pair

Just ok

I have bought this sampler many times and it's always fresh and super tasty. Value is exceptional

Definitely love the selection for the price.

In my search for my ideal cigar, I have purchased many different kinds of CI's bargain groupings. While a good deal, I was often disappointed with the majority of cigars offered. I was skeptical of the "Gentleman's Deuce" packages at first. If my two favorite cigars weren't half of the deal, I probably would have passed it over. This one was carried by the CAOs. If you enjoy dark, flavorful cigars, the price to quality found in the Brazilia blend is simply unmatched. a Brazilia with a rocks glass of your favorite whiskey can turn your whole evening around. I trusted CI to find a complimentary match to the brilliance that is CAO, and was surprised by the Patels. Quite the reverse of the CAO, Patel is usually a bit pricey for a moderately blended cigar. It is a great contrast, though. Still a fine cigar, having both together lets you see how well CAO stands right beside one of the premier names in cigars. For a dark cigar lover? This is my highest recommendation in the Deuce packages.

Excellent

This 60 ring pair is a favorite.

Great cigars, the CAOs are smooth as silk, and the Edges are, well, Rocky Patel's, need I say more?

CAO Brazila are one of my go to cigars Always consistent

Great combination! Great value.

Excellent batch!!

Both were wonderful. I smoke both of those regularly.

Great value

This "Gentleman's Deuce" offering is a favorite of mine! Both are fine cigars with great draw, volumes of smoke and consistent taste! My guests always rave about these!

can't go wrong with a "BEEFY CAO Brazilian" and a Rocky Patel EDGE Maduro. Both great smokes.

I like the cigars

I have purchased this pack in the past. They both are really good smokes. The burn is consistent and the quality is good. I did get a chocolate note in the CAO. Highly recommend this pack.

Coa is my favorite cigar, the rocky is very good as well. Would like to maybe see the Cao paired with some other like type cigars

Always done of the best!

Great rich tasting cigars and a good strength smoke.

Excellent flavor & body

Great cigars. Quality in these. Never been disappointed by either

These are my daily sticks and I absolutely love the Brazilias Here’s proof

Tastey

Great smokes

Good full-bodied cigars! Awesome!

Both great cigars - two of my favorites and they don’t break the bank

Good smokes but I am really disappointed in the price most of the time, hence I don't purchase very often.

Only smoked the Rocky Patel and it was mid the Nica Libre I bought first we’re better however this is about the Rocky the paper with the was at the bottom where you light it and I’m questioning it’s authenticity for it being there

Great value

A real delight

Excellent Collection of Ciagrs!

Always enjoy the Rocky Patel Edge line. Cannot go wrong with any of them. I was impressed with CAO. Very good smoke.

Pretty good dam smoke for the buck

They were good.

cao very good , rocky something to be desired not my brand of tea.

This combo is a terrific value with two really good smokes being offered. I would buy it again and again.

Great flavor.

No better cigars for this price. After smoking both, I feel like I got a steal. The COA Brazilia is one of the best cigars I have had.

Really like these cigars. Pleased with the blend and strength. Will definitely order again.

Great deal!

Both full. quality roll and excellent

Excellent smokes!

Great smokes

Excellent!

Perfect construction resulting in an even burn and easy draw. Smoke volume is generous and thick. Never disappointed with CAO.

My first deuce choice and it was not bad overall, but I did think that the CAO Brasilia far out shined the Edge in every category. It was very consistently good. I am not sure why the Edge did not go much above average its performance noting the positive reviews it seems to get generally. they did not work well for me.

Great deal on great smokes!

Not a bad deal

The CAO's were great and at this price they pay for the bundle. The rocky Patel edge were good/alright but had uneven burning with a couple. Still a great deal

Great cigars

Great pairing of smokes! Totally recommend

Very pleased with this complete order!

What a great duo of cigars, both brands are fantastic and smoke great. Anytime I am in a group and smoking the CAO I get compliments on the aroma of the cigar.

Rocky Patel's have been very good the CAO have been loose and uneven burn

CAO more enjoyable and flavorful than Rocky Patel for me. Great price point!

Very robust cigars.

Superb!

Thay where pretty good I will buy them again thank

The Rockys are excellent. While the "Brasilia" some of my favorite, in this particular combo they are not well rolled.

I get frustrated with the lack of inventory you advertise.

Very good cigars I will buy it again

Very flavorful. Good smoke in this size cigar.

Like this combo a lot! Will be ordering again!

Very enjoyable and affordable!

Good combo, heavy hitters

Nice set together...

Not the worst but there are better!

Wonderful smokes. My son and I really enjoy them. Will purchase again

Great smoke

Great paring… enjoying ??

Definitely will order these again!

Two of my favorite cigars wrapped up in one. I will definitely enjoy these again

Excellent package!

The CAO were dried out

Smooth taste..excellent smoking cigar

Great sampler definitely buy again

Very satisfying

This is a very good cigar with a bold smooth taste

The cigars wrefresh, and to me pretty quickly.

Both cigars were great.

Great value in quality sticks

Quick shipping good smokes. I will definitely buy from cigars international again

Smoke great and rock

We loved both of these cigars. CAO has become almost a daily smoke for us. Rocky Patel we often save for special occasions.

Great taste

Great combination!

amongst my rotation

Rocky P was great I didn’t care For the CAO. I didn’t like it taste

The CAO were excellent for my taste, while the Patel's we're a bit strong and burned unevenly. We all have different tastes though, so you may feel differently. Well worth the price of you want to try something new.

I have enjoyed both CAO and the Rocky Patel. Both had a great taste and easy draw

These are two of my favs. Both rock with flavor and smoothness. The two bundled together are a great pairing. These are truly two of my favorite smokes.

Cigars International does it again. Highly recommend them to anyone. Great quality for great prices. The sticks were a great smoke. CAO ???? I thoroughly enjoyed. Rocky Patel Edge is now my favorite stick out of all the RP sticks. Great bundle at a great price.

Great cigars for great price

Glad I got this sampler,never had before will keep a look out for sales

The CAO Brazilla cigars are top notch. The combination of the two (Rocky Patel) , makes this a slam dunk. Great value guys.

Good combo. CAO smokes good, rocky is not my type but good overall deal

Both very nice long smoking cigars

Great combination. Just right for me.

All of the items I have ever ordered have come quickly and I have never had an issue. I get all my supplies from CI.

Steady

I appreciate the cigars smooth taste that's it

great value & flavor

Great smoke, I recommend the purchase of these cigars

Good bargin

Bought these for my dad for his birthday and he loves them. Said they have a smooth taste.

Well worth the value. The CAO is surprisingly good for the value. Definitely recommend if you want a 45-60 min cigar.

I don’t care much for the Rocky Patels - bitter and too dark. but the CAO’s are awesome - next time I’ll try the CAO dream team sampler.

Both cigars have smooth draw and great taste ??

Some of my favorite smokes.

great smoke robust flavor and good value

Great buy and smoke

Nice!!!

Great product great price.

Two of my all time favorites from two of the best cigar manufacturers on the planet IMHO.. Brazilia has never let me down neither has Rocky Patel. Highly highly recommend this sampler. Will definitely be ordering more....

Thoroughly enjoyed both sticks. CAO had a great burn and just enough strength to make it worthwhile but not be overpowering. The edge has a very fulfilling flavor as well.

Good n ci fresh every time

The patels were great! Unfortunately, one of the Brazillias had plug in it that made the draw impossible.

This package is great. Sometimes the CAO's are wrapped so tight its hard to draw. These smoked well, perfect on the golf course. The Rocky's are awesome from start to finish, both enjoyed with a glass of neat bourbon. ;)

Solid Smoke, full flavor for reasonable price

Everything was great

Perfect morning (CAO Brazilia) and evening (Edge) cigars

Oth really nice smokes. Great while BBQ.

Both of these are really good cigars - both well composed and wrapped - with nice easy draws. For me, the Rocky Patel Edge is a 3.5 and the CAO Brazilia is a 5.0 pretty much solely on the richer, bolder flavor of the CAO. I just received a 20-pack reorder of the CAO Brazilia

Great smoke.

so both of these cigars are on my favorites list and to get them together is a treat

Greta value for great smokes.

CAO Brazillia very good burn even not runs. Rocky Patel soft roll, burn uneven, ran terribly

A little strong but still good cigars

Good construction, draw and burn.

Love both of these! Great smokes!

I like getting mixtures of the cigars that I like. CAO's and Rocky Patel's are both good smokes. I get the combination often.

These are very good premium cigars at a great price. This is a good pairing with each offering a slightly different flavor profile. As always fast shipping and excellent customer service.

Great deal awesome some

Love the edge Maduro and even though I’m a die hard cao Columbia the Brazil’s is great also.

Great smokes

I believe the CAO Brazilia may be my favorite cigar. Rocky was ok. Both were quality cigars, even burns and easy draws. One is just more to my liking.

I purchase this combination frequently I really like this blend Of maduro cigars.

Great cigars at a great price!!

CAO started to fall apart after a couple of minutes

One of the few in our 'top' category at home. Consistently easy draw, great full smoke, full flavor strength to the end.

Great smokes, CAO Brazil in particular are a great daily, and this price can't be beat.

Both excellent smokes. No burn issues, full bodied, and smooth. Never smoked a CAO before, RP never disappoints. Will be back for more.

Good cigar

??

Two superstars, these are both good cigars. These two remind me of twin sisters I used to know. It was a lucky day if they picked you.

??

The CAO has a great flavor. The combo price for the CAO and the Rocky is a awesome value. Love how the blend of the Patel finishes

Both of these guys are good upper middle class sticks. Rocky 90 was my first smoke so it will always hold a place in my humidor. CAO offers uncompromising value and the Brazilia is always on point.

Great!

Great

great smoke

All great smokes!

Great smokes! Good flavor nice even draw.

Good smoke

Quality mix and taste

Love the way these cigars are put together. Nice firmness and even burn. Great medium bodied cigars.

Excellent overall for the money.

Average cigar , decent sale price

Great service!

i highly recommend this sampler. It has great quality.

Good cigars at a good price. Love the gentleman's deuce from CI!

Good smokes at exorbitant price

Much stronger then I anticipated.

This is an excellent combo. Brazilia is rich and full bodied without being overpowering. The Rocky Edge has been a personal favorite for years so any combo with it is immediately desirable for me. Both cigars come from well known manufacturers with tons of blending experience. The only downside of that is being able to try them all! I’m a longtime fan if CI so continue to be a ‘regular.’

A great combination of cigars. This combo represents a perfect pair from CAO and Rocky Patel.

Loved them!

Pretty good sticks! Great taste, size!

Nice

Brazillia had one dud with bad draw but overall pretty good taste.

The Brazil is an unbelievable Smoke it has everything that you're looking for from beginning to end can't say enough good things about it The rocky potato edge was like a perfect appetizer Just wish it was a little bit bigger

They were a good smoke. After looking at some reviews of the CAO I expected more of a dark Chocolate flavor. What I received we more spice than chocolate. Bit overall they were good.

Good value

One of my favorites

Both an all time favorite

These cigars were dry. I did not enjoy them at all. Rocky Patels were excellent, as always.

Ordered these by mistake- but decided to try these anyway. I generally don’t smoke a shorter , large ring gauge such as these but decided to light up anyway. I won’t bore you with construction notes - These are after all a handmade product . All subject to some individual variations. You get the same blunt tobacco taste that is common to all cigars during the first inch or so. The trick here with this shorter model is to take it out of your mouth and let it rest in the ashtray for some minutes before taking subsequent short puffs. You will be rewarded with the different flavors spreading out to become more identifiable and interesting . I leave to your taste and imagination to define your own likes and dislike of the flavor profile. Not overheating the cigar and taking your time with it will reveal a whole host nuance while retaining the forward Nicaraguan experience. While not being a strict fan of Nicaraguan cigars I do find this CAO Brasilia a complex cigar which can be readily quite enjoyable when taken with patience to avoid overheating in order to enjoy the best parts of its flavor and aroma. D

Both of these are amazing

These are both beauties. Great combination of cigars.

Good smoke ok beauty ok sampler

Amazing smoke Amazing cigars

Top rate cigars ????

Just to dam great cigars

Thank you

The Brazilia was good smoke . The Patel edge was dry and fell apart . Never had this experience before .

CAO man here. I love all their smokes. I'll smoke em down to the nub! The RP is good. Lotta smoke,full bodied. Great deal on these cigars!

Good group, i haven't try them yet.

The Brazilia is my favorite smoke with a bonus Patel.

Both are wonderful 'full bodied' sticks. They are regulars in my humidor.

Awesome cigars

Nice

I am enjoying these cigars. Good flavor. Good price.

Great s.okes

Fresh and tasty!

Easily a daily regular!

The deal was good cigars are great

I love the Rocky's, but the Brazillias tend to be plugged with a difficult draw and uneven burn. They used to be one of my favorites. Adios Brazillias!

Great smoke

Nice pairing

Two great cigars. The CAO with a coffee and woody undertones makes it an enjoyable night with a glass of wine in front of a fire.

I'll take CAO over Rocky any day

Fantastic !!

Nice

The CAO Brazil’s was great as usual but the Rocky Patel Edge was dry and tasteless

I really love these cigars. I buy this sampler combo often.

Both good cigars. I really like the Rocky Patel Edge, would buy again. They have a smooth easy draw when smoking.

Both good smokes but CAO seemed little dry and hard. Otherwise enjoyed them

Great taste
